Description

A multi part mold for homemade candles. Can be printed probably with any type of filament but durability may vary. I have printed it in ASA.
Print Candle 1 and Candle two files along with 2x Lock parts. There is also a Bottom part that is not neccesary but helps the mold stand when a wick is inserted and also collects potential wax leaks aroud the wick. There is also an optional wick holder for the top of the mold.

PETG used to hold up to heat slightly better than PLA. This may be why clamps from plate 1 were extremely tight. Reprinted those two only at 0.3% bigger scale and all good. Great design!

I suspect the issue stems from the material used, but I'm struggling to insert and remove the side brackets, I will try adjusting the clearances and tolerances

Bed Adhesion Issue: It was really bad quality

@tyna.havlinova

Thank you for sharing your experience with the profile. Unfortunately bed adhesion often depends on individual printers, usually if there are bed adhesion issues the recommendation is to clean the bed, dry the filament or play with the temperature of the bed.
